"Thank you so much for the time you spent with our 2nd grade students at the Planetarium. They really enjoyed the presentation and learned
so much about ... the pattern of the sun as it moves across the sky. Thank you so
much for giving your time and being so great! "

Why does the Sun rise and set? How does the Moon move through the sky? Where are the
other planets amidst the stars? Join the Hardin Planetarium staff for an exciting
adventure through the sky above us, in which we will answer all these questions and
more! With our new digital imaging technology, we will employ state-of-the-art simulations
to demonstrate the incredible truths behind the motions in the sky.

Academic Subjects Addressed

This show begins with pointing out that we see the Sun, Moon, planets and stars in
the sky, but over the course of a day, they move. We examine how, where and their
relationships to each other. We also examine how to mark the passage of time with
celestial objects.
